The Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality (CAPP; Cooke, Hart, Logan, & Michie, 2004) is a new personality-based model and clinical assessment of psychopathy. This study was the first to examine the content validity of the English-language CAPP. Content validation is a crucial part of the development and refinement of any new instrument. Prototypical analysis was used to evaluate the representativeness of CAPP symptoms to the psychopathy construct in adults. Symptoms were rated by international mental health professionals (N = 132). Findings support good content validity of the CAPP, with most symptoms rated as highly representative of psychopathy. Domains relating to interpersonal style were particularly prototypical. Confirmatory factor analyses further suggested that CAPP domains are highly unidimensional. However, some CAPP symptoms may be weaker items in the model and further refinement is needed.
《精神病态人格综合评估》（CAPP；Cooke、Hart、Logan 和 Michie，2004）是一种新的基于人格的精神病态模型和临床评估方法。本研究首次检验了英文 CAPP 的内容效度。内容效度是任何新工具的开发和完善的关键部分。原型分析用于评估 CAPP 症状对成年人精神病态结构的代表性。症状由国际心理健康专业人员进行评估（N=132）。研究结果支持 CAPP 具有良好的内容效度，大多数症状被评为高度代表精神病态。与人际关系风格相关的领域尤其具有代表性。验证性因素分析进一步表明，CAPP 领域具有高度的单一维度性。然而，CAPP 的一些症状可能是模型中的较弱项目，需要进一步完善。
